The Sony PlayStation Portable, or Sony PSP, is a portable game system released by Sony in 2004. The PSP-1000, PSP-2000, and PSP-3000 systems are nearly the same, with the PSP-3000 having a different pixel layout on the screen. The PSP Go in 2009 has a smaller screen and different hardware layout. The PSP line was succeeded by the PlayStation Vita in December 2011.

Specs

  • CPU: MIPS R4000 32-bit @ 222 MHz
  • RAM: 32 MB eDRAM
  • Display: 480x272, 24-bit color
  • Storage: UMD up to 1.8 GB

Homebrew

The PSP, now that Sony isn't actively focused on stopping homebrew for the system, is surprisingly simple to deploy code to. Using the pspdev toolchain and gLib2d graphics library, the example files provided give a solid development foundation. After the build process, the files can be copied to a memory stick. Once a custom firmware has been installed to the PSP, it will boot your software straight from the memory card.
